When we look to the vast Poplilition:l;nd consider the eminence, the trade, the enterprise, the great manufacturing and commercial interests of this metropolis, it becomes a mdtter of no little surprise that the most active means have not, long since, been taken to ob tain a better supply of water, and to get rid of the mud-and-water monopoly which has so grievously existed for many years past. The subject is one upon which so much has been said, and such universal complaints madu, that it is altogether unnecessary to dilate upon the crying evil, or to offer a single remark beyond that which Is rendered so self-evident to every disinterested and dispas • sionate mind. Of the eight companies supplying London with water, the New River is the most extensive. It was constructed by Sir Hugh Middleton, at an expense of about 150,0001. When, in 1834, the public were much excited in consequence of the bad water supplied, a Parliamentary inquiry on the subject took place, and Commis sioners were appointed. From the evidence then given it apeared that the capital invested by the New River Company was 1,116,9641., by the other Companies 2,127,5951., making a total of 3,224,b59/. Although the New River Company paid an enormous bonus (300 per cent. on the paid-up capital) yearly to the shareholders, there was a balance o' 157,2061. 10s. 6d. remaining, which is more than the ori ginal test of construction. The average number of houses supplied in 1834, according to the minutes of evidence, was 196,492, at the annual value of 276,2004, about I/. I 0 . yearly per house. Pure water can be supplied for one-third that sum, and leave a profit, to the capitalist who invests in this speculation, more enormous than that of the New River Company. Hence the opportunity has presented itself for the formation of a Company for the supply of pure water at an inconsiderable outlay, and upon those sure and unerring principles of Artesian Springs which have been so generally adopted on the Continent—unfailing and succes , fully established to the satisfaction of the moat sceptical Individuals. With reference to supplying London with pure spring water, let it be unders.ood, that the surface of chalk on which London is built re ceives and retains rain on an average of twenty-one inches per an num. This chalk-bed or basin has an extent of 12,600 scplare miles. Each square mile contains, allowing one-third for evaporation, no less than 3,208,228 hogsheads of water per annum, or on a hundred square miles, one-twelfth of the surface, 320,822,800 hogsheads. The snpply of water last year by the different companies was 314,553,012 hogs heads. Thus the London bed is capable of supplying mere than twelve times the quantity needed, sufficient for all the towns in Great Britain and Ireland. • " • • So certain and conclusive have been the experiments tried, that the most successful result has attended every instance in procuring water upon the principle stated. The metal pipes, as now used by the London Water Companies will net be adopted by the United KingdoM Artesian Water Com pany. Glass, and some such tubes as cannot be corroded, will only be in use. The recent repeal of the duty on glass and porcelain make such pipes cheaper than metal. Shareholders shall be protected from all responsibility beyond the actual amount of shares taken. All applications for Shares must be addressed to the Secretary of the United Kingdom Artesian Water Company, at the Office, East India Chambers, Leadenhall-street, City, London. FORM OF APPLICATION FUR SHARES.

So it is with the most valuable inventions as well as stones and metals. .None but the inimitable in value are' imitated in appearance, and as soon as the consumer (the best connoisseur)• attempts to use them, how soon he finds out their utter uselessness. Thus it is with the most valuable of all inventions ; the celebrated METALLIC RAZOR TABLET Of' GEORGE SAUNDERS has been the target for imitation for the last thirty years. To Gentlemen who shave themselves the following query is pro posed.—Why do all the first cutlers in Europe use and recommend Saunders' Four-sided Tablet Razor Strop ? The answer is simply because it is the only one that gives to a razor a keen and smooth edge. DEPOT, 278, STRAND. To wholesale purchasers a liberal discount will be made. FRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH.

MAY 15, 1847. THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO. ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA. HIGHLY IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL INTEL LIGENCE. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1847. The Royal Mail steamer Cambria, commanded by Captain Judkins, arrived here last night, bringing New York dates of the 30th April. She sailed from Boston on the Ist, and Halifax on the 3d instant. The news from Mexico is still of a very hostile character. The fall of Vera Cruz when made known at the capi tal, did not abate their determination to persevere in the war. A battle was daily expected between a Mexican force of 14,000 or 15.000 men, which Santa Anna is marching towards Jalapa, and the division of the American army under General Twiggs. Our dates from Vera Cruz are to the 10th inst., vid Havannah. On the Bth, General Twiggs, with a column of from 2,500 to 3,000 troops (regulars), took up the lino of march for Jalapa. He was followed next day by General Patterson, with about an equal force of volun teers, and General Worth with the rear division, would follow the day after. The advancing column will not number less than 10,000 men. The garrison left in the city of Vera Cruz and the castle, will be small, as the navy will assist in maintaining order and su bjb c ti on t h ere, an d at Al vara d o and other points along the coast, which have yielded er shall Yield to autatins. _ _ . General La Vega, who had command at the Puente Nacionel, a difficult pass about 30 miles from Vera Cruz, had abandoned that position on the alleged ground of not being adequately supported by his Government. We had a rumour also that the authorities of Jalapa had signified to General Scott their willingness to surrender at discretion, but however, if, as later advices import, Santa Anna had sent forward considerable detachments from his army to fortify themselves at Cerro Gordo, a defenceable pass, in advance of Jalapa—another battle may ensue there, of which however, after what had been seen, the result cannot be ancertain. We do not indeed think that the Mexicans can again be brought to stand before an American army in the field. Reports had been circulated that sickness to a great extent prevailed in the army at Vera Cruz, but direct accounts do not represent the army as being sickly. Of peace, no nearer prospect is perceptible than at the commencement of the war, and such would seem to be the fair interpretation of the recent call of the Go vernment for 6,000 additional troops to reinforce the columns of Scott and Taylor. The ten regiments before called for, together with the recruits for filling up the regular regiments, will more than suffice to replace the twelve months' volunteers with Scott and Taylor, whose term of service will expire in June and July, but all of whom may re-enlist, and therefore these six new regi ments are so many additional troops. Money is found by the Government without difficulty for its, loans. The bids for the eighteen million dollars loan invited for the 10th April, amounted to fifty-eight millions of dollars, all at or above par, and the loan was principally taken at about of 1 per cent. premium; and it has been selling since at from 2 to 3i premium. The stock has twenty years to run, at 6 per cent. in terest. No better nor more desirable security can well exist. Commander M'Keene, of the United States navy, late in command of the United States sloop of war Dale, came passenger in the Arve from Havannah, which arrived yesterday forenoon, and has communicated to us the following intelligence received by him from Lieutenant Emory, of the Topographical Engineers, recently appointed a Major of Dragoons. Major Emory left Captain M'Keene at Havannah, and proceeded to New Orleans on his way to Washington. Both these gentlemen are bearers of dispatches, and Commodore M`Keene returns in consequence of ill health. On the 2d December last, General Kearney arrived at Sierra Phillipi, where he found means to com municate with Commander Stockton at San Diego, who dispatched thirty-five volunteers under Lieutenant Gillespie and Passed Midshipman Beale, to his aid. Not expecting further relief, and all the passes being iri possession of the enemy, notwithstanding his men were worn out by marching over twenty-two hundred miles, and mounted on broken down pack mules—all hiS , horses having been left at Santa Fe—General Kearney , determined to cut his way throUgh the enemy t o S an Diego ; and on the morning of the 6th December, an, hour before day, he attacked the enemy, 160 in number and well mounted, at the Indian village of San Pasqua!, and routed them with great loss. They retreated one and a half miles and rallied ; when the General ordered a charge, and placed himself at the head of it. He and his officers being better mounted then the men, first came in contact with the lances of the enemy, and for ten minutes were completely surrounded ; but as soon as the men came . up, the enemy again fled. In this engagement, our loss was 35 killed and woundedl Captains Moore and Johnson and Lieutenant Ham mond were killed ; and every officer, with two excep tions, was wounded, and their garments were literally pierced with lances. General Kearney received two severe lance wounds. His whole force was only sixty. The next day he continued his march slowly on foot towards San Diego, all of the mules having completely failed, with few exceptions, which were employed to draw the wounded. The enemy having occupied a hill commanding the mad, were again attacked and driven from their posi tion. When thirty miles from San Diego, General Kearney was met by a detachment of seamen and ma rines, dispatched by Commander Stockton under Lieut. Gray. On the 28th December the united forces of General Kearney and Commander Stockton marched from San Diego, consisting of 450 seamen and marines and the remnant of dragoons, which originally were 100 strong. On the Bth of January they met the enemy, 500 strong, with four pieces of artillery, advantageously posted on the San' Gabriel River.. After a short discharge of artillery they were driven from their position. After retreating five miles the enemy rallied, and again offered battle on the 9th, and were again beaten. Our loss in both these actions was only two killed and thirteen wounded, one since dead. The enemy is supposed to have lost from 40 to 80. This affair, it is believed, will put an end to the war in California. General Flores fled to Senora with BO to 100 followers; General .Pi went off with about 100 to threaten Colo nel ;remont. Haying twice broken his parole be could get no terms from General Kearney. Pico represented his force :to Colonel Fremont at 400 men, and falsely represented the battles of the Bth and 9th. Under these false representations Colonel Fremont . made a treaty with Don Andres. The capital (Delos Angelos) was taken possession of on the 10th, without further re sistance. General Kearney embarked on board the sloop Cyane, Captain Dupont, for Monterey, on the 2d or 3d of February. Captain Emory has brought with him the results of his explorations from Santa Fe to California, with infor mation which General Kearney considered it important that GoverAment should at once possess. Several mines of gold and copper ore, rich and easily worked, were examined and specimens obtained. After the death of Captain Moore, Captain Turner was assigned to the command of the dragoons. The following statement of the stock of bread -stuffs i in the United States is of the utmost importance at the present time, and will be gratifying to all who take an interest in,the welfare of the population of this country. It gives promise of greater supplies than were anticipated by the most sanguine :- The great problem at this moment for Europe and for ourselves, is to establish, as near as may be, the probable quantity of grain in the United States, both for consumption and exportation. It is impossible in such a matter to ob tain accuracy. We must be content, therefore, with the nearest approximation to it. As an essential element in the needful calculations, we commence with the following tables of the annual exports from the United States, for a period , of eleven years, of flour , wheat , Indian corn , and Indian meal. The tables are made up from Ist July each year, and are compiled from the official returns to the United States' Treasury Departtn'ent :- ExportS of Flour, Wheat, Indian Corn, and Indian Meal, from the United States in each year, from 1835, to 1846.

Entire accuracy is of course out of the question in returns gathered as these are, but it is probable they approach as near the truth as any that can be had. aAtAccordinge t h h e e n e t x o e t e h s s e o e s f t i t h m e a t f e o l o i f o w the gCo ar t i c lesm m iss i o o e n e t r h o e f cropthe of 1847 over that of 1845 was, of Wheat ...

In other words, whereas the aggregate excess of wheat and corn of the crop of '46 over that of '45 is Bushels, 52,422,700 The aggregate export for '46-7 of these grains will be, bushels 28,288,913 Leaving still in this country of that excess, bushels 24,133,787 It will be seen that in these remarks we take no account of any other grain than wheat and Indian corn, and that thus far we have only treated of the excess of '46 over '45. We now proceed to state, on the authority of the Patent Office Report, the crops of 1845, and the estimated popula tion of the United States in that year. Population ...

Now allowing 5 bushels to each individual of these 20 millions—an allowance greatly beyond the real consumption—there would remain 630 million bushels for the support of animals, for seed, and for exportation. If we add to this aggregate that of the ex cess of '46 over '45, we shall have nearly another million, making in round numbers 700 millions as the grain product of the United States for 1846, over and above the consump tion of the population. Now, our total export of wheat and corn, the largest ever made, is estimated for the year at 28.-I millions of bushels. To carry that quantity—and this brings into view another element which enters largely into all considerate estimates of the exportation of grain—the amount of shipping needed for transporting the cargoes—let us now enquire what number of vessels would be requisite. Estimating the bushel of wheat and of corn at 561bs. each, 20,000 bushels will weigh exactly 500 tons, the full average of what merchant vessels will carry. Now, supposing each vessel to make three voyages, and to carry 20,000 bushels at each voyage, it would require about 470 vessels of 500 tons each, equal to 235,000 tons. The whole amount cf tonnage employed in foreign trade for the year 1845—and it was the largest amount employed for any year theretofore—as given in the annual report of the Secretary of the Treasury to Con gress, in December 1845, was, of American vessels (cleared,) 2,053,977 Foreign do. do. Tons 2,984,252 Hence it will be seen that the exportation of the cereals for the present fiscal year would require, upon the basis above stated, about one-twelfth of the tonnage which sufficed for the whole foreign trade of the United States in 1845, and that after all that shall be exported, there will remain in the United States, if the estimates of the Patent-office at Wash ington, which a practice of many years should now render somewhat accurate, are at all to be depended on, more th an 496 millions of bushels of wheat and corn, the whole quantity exported not amounting, in fact, to six per cent. of the quantity raised. It was in view of these results—accurate if the public statistics at Washington, published under the sanction of Congress, are trustworthy, that we have heretofore expressed the opinion that the supply of grain from this country would only be limited by the difficulty of obtaining convey ance. This assumption has been strongly controverted in an article published under our Money Head of the 27th inst., which will be found in this sheet, but we nevertheless do not see how it can be disproved. It is certainly true that the seaboard is very bare at present of grain of all sorts—and that owing to the backwardness cf the season, there will not much go forward from here before June and July, but that there is yet in the country a very ' large amount to be shipped, and present prices will bring for ward all there is, we do not entertain much doubt. As how ever it is, or may be, a matter of life and death to many, that no mistake should be made as to the probable or possible supplies from the United States, we think it right in order that others may have the means of judging for themselves, to give place here to the following view presented by practical business men, who have taken pains to inform themselves, skid who believe entirely in the conclusions which they here state. Flour has continued to maintain itself, notwithstanding the unfavourable advices from Europe, mainly owing to the circumstances of our entire sea board from Maine to Georgia trig' exhausted of stock. . least 5 is generally understood, that we s h a ll repure at 5 0,000 barrels of the expected supplies of tour from our Western Canals for the imperative and immediate wants of this and the New England Markets, during the first thirty days after opening of navigation, and all parties are now anxiously waiting for the receipts from that our only source of supply. These will begin to reach our market about the middle of next month. Recent advices from the West, represent that the farmers have pretty generally sold out their wheat, and the late estimates of those most correctly informed, of quantities of wheat and flour. which may be expected to arrive prior to next harvest, are proved to be far short of the earlier expec• tations—this is mainly caused by the unusual circumstance of the Ohio and Misissippi Rivers, having been open all winter, which has already drawn out the whole surplus of the soith-western parts of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, through that channel to New Orleans. These facts, together with the now almost universal com plaint of " winter kill" in the wheat on the ground (the farmers in many districts of Pennsylvania, Maryland, In • diens, and Illinois, having already extensively ploughed up their wheat for the purpose of re-planting with spring grain), exercise, and justly so, a very important influence upon the minds of those int eres t e d in the trade. Any further considerable export of flour and wheat must be inevitably f o ll owe d b y hi g h pr i ces unt il h arves t, an d a scarcity for h ome consump ti on part i cu l ar l y , s h ou ld ou r comi ng crops prove as defective as now anticipated. . We learn th ere are thi s wee k extensive goourdre for r intwi i from Virginia and Maryland, to contrac tpurch ase deliverance in May, June, and July next, w favourable appearance of their growing crops, and to the un favourable the com plete exhaustion of their own supplies. That their supplies should be so limited and the stocks so small in these southern t p h h e i ainter ioropened c o t h m is m u s p n r i i c n a ; ports is somewhat remarkable, tion with m a ar nd ka P bl h e lla as del much earlier than usual ; if the wheat and flour was in th e interior, the high prices sould have brought it out. Since writing the above, quite opportune, we have received f rom New Orleans a circular of Thomas 11. Cheneworth, dated 17th of April, of which the following is an extract, confirming our view of th e ex t ens i ve drain from the South: : Ling the past month W‘es‘FteLornuSß.t_ateTshdeutrrianngsatheteiopnass in flourtwinter amount to fully 275,000 barrels. The market opened with a steady demand at 5 dolls. 75c. a 5 dolls.

As the demand for breadstuffs continues unabated, and the stocks of both wheat and flour in first hands are now greatly reduced, it becomes a q u e s ti on o f muc h importan ce, ri ce, wh the supply to be received at this port during the remainder of the season will be equal to that of the last year for the the hi g hbulk of the corresponding period; and I submit such information as I have gathered on the subject. 1847. At uthpepperri commence the Upper Mississipi, shipments in 1846 did not ce before the Ist of March, whereas, stimulated by rates which have ruled this season, the great produce was forwarded during_the months of November and well ascertained the 1846, — and February and March, principal shipping points qii `the Illinois, Mis souri, and Mississippi, there are now no parcels of con sequence waiting shipment, while from the Ohio river it is the forward—it must bulk of the crop has already come from these points bewill, sxpected, therefore, that shipments small quantities, fromh. henceforward, be in compara tivelyfrom whence last year large Ile in lowa and Upper Illinois, of both winter and springgueiiseupplies were derived, the crops have but little data on which wheat were entirely destroyed. I probable receipts from the Web° ground an opinion of the that the supply will exceed thatasof'l but Ado not anticipate that under the most favourable, circumstances, year. It is agreed, of forty per cent., will be a large estimate an addition crop of the west over that of last year. A, o h r n increase in the cal culation to be correct, the amount of wheat a it n t i i i ng this flour to be received at this point up to the 31st of August, cannot. ex ceed 1,500,000 bushels, troni which is to he deducted the amount required for local consumption alai ar m y s ed l !he u estimated at 6,000 barrels per weep , which fbr twenty week to the Ist of August, would give forty per cent. of the above quantity, leaving 900,000 bushels for exportatation. The apparent stock on hand here is about 100,000 hhl s , greater than at this date last tear; but the major part of this having been already purchased for exportation, the _amount in first hands is really larger. On reference to the subjoined tabular statement, it will be perceived that our receipts to this date already exceed those of 1846, for the entire year, by 680,000 bushels. The large comparative increase in the receipts of Flour over Wheat is readily accounted for by the great difficulty and expense of procuring sacks in the upper country. COMPARATIVE RECEIPTS OF WHEAT AND FLOUR A? NEW ORLEANS, IN 1846 AND 1847. Receipts of Wheat trom September 1, 1845, to September 1, 1846, 450,000 sacks, at 21,- bushels each Receipts of Flour for the same period, 840,000 barrels, estimated at 5 bushels of wheat each 4,200,000 5,320,000 Receipts of 'Wheat from the Ist September, 1846, to the 15th of April, 1847, 200,000 sacks, at 2i bushels each Receipts of Flour for the same period, 1,100,000 barrels, at five bushels of Wheat each 6,000,000 1846, for the year, t o I s t S ep t em b er, 1846 5,320,000 Excess received to date 680,000 If the above premises are correct, but little Flour can be expected to arrive in New Orleans after Ist of May, over their own wants for local consumption, and direct West India trade. Therefore, shipments from that port to Europe must cease, more particularly as the flour of so late a season must be expected to arrive out in damaged Condition. Tim COTTON Cuor.—lt will be seen from our tables (com piled with great care) that the receipts of Cotton in the last four weeks, at all ports, have only been 140,000 bales, or little more than half the quantity usual at this season of the year. The nett stocks at all the interior markets on Ist April, where we can institute a thorough comparison for four years back, are also short of all those years, except 1843, so that it is by no means improbable that this crop may fall below 1,800,000 bales. This backward spring is also unpropitious to the crop to be grown this year ; for experience shows, and naturally enough, that a backward season is almost synonimous with a short crop ; let us hope we may have an early and favourable change in this respect, for really the prospects for quantity of cotton are at this moment such as ought to excite intense interest among those, who have spindles to be supplied with it. Most of the general shippers of cotton are averse to opera tions in it at present, but prices advance nevertheless, chiefly owing to the wants of our own manufacturers. There are a few operations by speculators even at present prices, but whether they belong to the discerning few, or are a portion of the misguided many, time must determine. The prospect certainly is for scarcity both as respects the present crop and that to be grown this year. Exchange on England is rising, and may now be quoted at from 6 4 4 - to 64 and even 7 premium. On Paris bills range from 5,37 i to 5,32; these rates will check the importation of specie. Stocks generally maintain themselves pretty well. By the Cambria, which reached Boston on the 20th ult., several parcels of American stocks were received, to be sold in this market—principally Pennsylvania fives. The effect on the market was to induce a slight decline —731 had been obtained before the Cambria's arrival, and to-day 73 was obtained, same stock having mean time been sold at 721. The banks are sound, strong, and though fully up for the most part to their line of discounts, not pressed, and the general state of business is sound. THE MEXICAN TAEIFF.—We are happy to hear that Denis Prieur, our Collector of Customs, has received instru c ti ons from Washington to allow all merchandize liable to foreign duties to be shipped to the Mexican ports occupied by our troops without paying the foreign duties under our Tara.— N.O. Delta, Ap r il 18. NEW YORK, THURSDAY NlGHT.—Business to-day at the Stock Board was fair. Treasury notes not much sought after, nor over freely offered. Exchange on Europe, espe cially on France, was in considerable demand for the steamer whose mails must be made up to-morrow. On London-the ordinary rate may be quoted at 6% to 6%, with 7 for some preferred bills. - Freights are in a pause —as well by reason of short stocks here, as of active competition among foreign ships, that had been taken up on speculation when freights were at the highest, and are now here on expense,—with the certainty of sinking money, whatever the rate they maynow get for their charterers. The rates now are almost nominal, say to Liverpool for cotton 3-16(i per lb.; flour and turpentine 2s 6d to 3s. per barrel; grain, 9d. to 10d. per bushel. To London, 3s. 6d. to 4s. 6d. per barrel for flour; and other artiolce iu proportion. To Havre, for cotton, % i e. to le. per lb. ; flour, 1 doll. per barrel; ashes, 8 dolls. to 10 dolls. per ton. The sales of cotton to-day reach 1,000 bales; prices are quite firm. Flour The demand is moderate and prices heavy. Western Canal may be quoted at 7,75 dolls., and mixed brands have been offered at a fraction below that price. Sales of common southern have been made at 7.37% dolls. to 7,50 dolls. Sales of brandywine corn meal in hogsheads were made at 22 dolls; Jersey meal in barrels is held at 4,5614 dolls. to 4,62 1 6 dolls. 4,000 bushels northern yellow corn sold at 96 a 97c.; 1,000 bushels from store were taken to fill up at 1 doll.; 4,000 bushels southern white brought 94c. A sale of 10,000 bushels Gennesee white wheat, to arrive in all May, was reported at 1 doll. 55c. Provisions steady; sales moderate. Ashes remain as last quoted—Pots at 53i dolls; Pearls, 6ILA dolls. Whale Oil and Whalebone are dull; the large receipts at the eastward have a tendency to depress the market.
