LEWIS RICARDO, Chairman. Punch gives the following as an appropriate game-law toast and sentiment:—" Destruction to all rabbits except the Welsh ; and may there be soon nothing left to poach in this country but eggs !" Hooo's TALES.—A great deal of fun has been perpe trated on Hogg's Tales. The last we have seen is the following Are you fond of Hogg's Tales ?" said a rather verdant lady to a shepherd. " Yes ; i likes 'em roasted, wi salt on 'em," was the response. " No—but I mean have you read Hogg's Tales?" " Noa," said the bumpkin, " our hogs are all white or block: I ikon% think there is a red on.e among 'ern." p r C e the Canal Wharf at Nottingham, which they have obtained, and over which the Midland Company have power to run their Traina, on payment of Toll. The concessions and powers thus secured, are of the utmost importance and advantage to the Conniany. The most conve nient Stations and ample accommodation for Passengers and Merchandize will be provided, both at Nottingham and Amber Gate, and the savixg in the outlay of capital, as well as time and thp convenience to the public will be greatly effected. As the Traffic in Coal, Corn, Cattle, and heavy Goods, according to the estimates proved, will be very large, the advantage ob taMed by the possession of the Canal Wharf is of the first consideration, as it gives to this Company the best Trading position in the Town af Nottingham, which could not Otherwise have been secured, except at an enormous sacrifice of money. The future prosperity and almost vitality . of the Line were most severely attacked during the last Session of Parliament, by the Great Northern and Eastern Counties Companies. The former projected a Line from Gosberton on the Boston loop, to Hongliam Mill, North of Grantham ; and the latter projected a line from Spalding to Newark, each of which were parallel to the Eastern portion of your Line, and if either had been ob tained, would have diverted a considerable portion of the East ern Traffic. The Great Northern and East Lincolnshire, also introduced other Bills, the effect of which, if they had not been defeated, would have been to destroy your proposed Station at Boston, and render the branch to the Quay, at that place, almoSt useless—The Great Northern also by another Bill to effect a deviation of their Line near Grantham, made another attack upon your Line at that place, which would have been most prejudicial had it been successful. In accordance, how ever, with their duties and the active vigilance your Directors have ever endeavoured to exercise in protecting the interests of the Company, they offered to the several Bills every legal oppo 'sition, and they are happy to say with the most complete suc cess, having thrown out all the Bills except the last, which was so modified as to make the Junction at Grantham more advan tageous, and at the same timemere independent—Clauses have been inserted in that Act empowering the two Companies to make a joint Station, and also empowering the Great Northern to use a portion of your line - on payment of an Equitable Toll. These attempted projects are conclusive that in the opinion of those powerful Companies; the district is important and capa ble of developing a tarp Traffic, and by the success attending the exertions of your Directors no part of that district lies heen infringed upon—all that the Legislature granted has been pre served intact. In thus defeating aggression your Directors have not refused friendly alliances when - they would conduce to your interests— They are happy to say that the best understanding now - exists between this Company and the Eastern Counties. In fixing the Station of their Wisheach and Spalding Line, at the latter place, they have adopted your site, anu an agreement has beeirentered into for the construttion of such Station at the joint expense of the two Companies, and the alliance has further been strength ened by as - ranging -far an interchange of traffic, and running of Trains, between Grantham and Spalding, and Spaldine. and Wisbeach, the terms and details of which are to he settled by arbitration. This agreement will promote alike the facility and convenience of the , public, and the interests of the Company, and may ultimately lead to a more intimate union, sod - which Agreement will be 'submitted t the Special General 'Meeting, on the 21st of September next, to consider the propriety of confirming the same. In conformity-with the Act, four of the Directors-and one of the Auditors retire, who are eligible for re-election. The Directors are happy to state that the differences which have arisen -between a portion of the Shareholders and the Board have been amicably arranged, and that the Directors will be increasedie the full number of sixteen; seven of whom are to be recommended by the Committees-of Shareholders. And far the election of three of that number, a Special General Meeting-will be necessary, which is fixed for Tuesday, the 21st of September next. company's 091ces, Wheeler-gate, Nottingham, 18th August, 1847. ENGINEER'S REPORT. To the 'Chairman and Directors of the Ambeli Gate, Notting ham and Boston, and Eastern Junction-Bailecay. GENTLEMEN, I now beg leave to report to you the progress since the last Half-yearly Meeting. The Contract for six and three-quarters miles from Bottes ford to Grantham, including the Gonerby Hill Tunnel, was commenced on the fifteenth of March, the Contractor being then put in possession of some portion of the Land.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, SlR,—The letter of "A Catholic" having appeared in the Mercury, I thought it expedient to adopt that medium for the following reply. The editors of that paper having refused it insertion, (for which refusal, however, they promise that " the reasons shall be stated in Tuesday's Mercury,") I venture to solicit from you the favour which they den i ed. Your obedient servant, September 111 h, 1847. NIGEL. TO A WRITER IN THE MERCURY, SIGNING " A CATHOLIC." SlR,—Few men, perhaps, sit unmoved, whilst the truth of their favourite doctrines is being questioned, and the articles of their belief impeached. They feel themselves identified with the doctrines they profess, and are apt to apply to themselves the imputations directed to those only. Perhaps, then, it is no wonder that you should burn to defend when your Church is attacked, and to vindicate yourself from the imputation of crediting "fables" and being captivated by " deceits." And yet I know not thatis the what prprofession s s D i o i n e what has been said, the novelty of which could have i‘lNi surprised has or beenaroused called to You reiterate knew uponyou. of -all good Church of England men , a nd i s a standing record in the articles of their church. You knew the l state of the controversy, and the grounds of mutual opposition between us, and that it was because we be lieved those novel doctrines imposed on the faithful by the Council of Trent to be ' blasphemous fables and from her, and returned in pen i t ence to her " first love." dangerous deceits," that the A n g lican C h urch cast them You knew that we must hold ourselves to be innovators instead of reformers, mutilators instead of pruners, unless w o e r so believe, open unless we are prepared so to denounce I would fain ask, has brought you through the columns of a newspaper, themf forth towhat ta hn ee nw. , the old controversy, upon which you throw no new light, and to which you bring no new weapon, to say what has been said a thousand times before, and, I believe, a thousand times refuted. But still, since you were as suming the management of such a subject through a newspaper, it might have been expected that in its con sideration you would have been actuated singly by a resolution to vindicate what you believed to be truth, and a sincerity of purposewhich would have been-content to have cast away all those arts by which you 'attempt to vilify and slander an-opponent, instead of only attacking his position, and to reflect upon his motives instead of refuting his arguments. But, sir, if from your letter we subtract all its vapunring without argument, and all its assertions without proof, all its empty sound without the solidity that truth imparts, and all itsompous asseve ration written only to catch the ear, all the inference which enmity alone could draw, and the blind charges ' which a manly neind could never have advanced, all, in fact, which malice dictated, and rage 'impelled, little indeed would -be ' , left for you to boast-of or for me to notice, little that a wise man should have written or a good man could wish to retain. For your pity, doubtless, Dr. 111`Neile will be grateful, but while ma:mending the tenderness of your nature, permit me to' advise you to reserve it till he shall need it, and you be nitre fit to evince it ; for, believe me, mistaken pity, whilatiNeaves its object as high and as dignified before, makes the exercise of it supremely ridiculous. For once, however, we will confess you have belied the nature Of our church, and allow youremiability to outstep your jedgmeht, and what is still more beautiful, to stifle your enmity Itself. But you have; read Dr. M'Neilets letter with disgust at its presumption, and the assumed air of infallibility with which it deals damnation round the land - ;`your disgust may, perhaps, be easily accounted for, but surely such an extremely 11. y remark could not have proceeded but from disappointed rage, which blinds the perceptions. while it inflames the feelings. 'Dr. M`Neile is - called upon to state the grounds of his -ob jection AO 'the Maynooth endowments, he does so • by 1 declaring - thet he believes with the Church of England, 1 that many doctrines taught at that i ns tit u ti on are ' bias phemousfables, and dangerous deceits ;" can an ythi ng be more reasonable, anything more-natural, anything more , inevitable ? You know that Dr. M`Neile believed this, 1 whatthen- e li c ited your disgustehis belief of it, .oe-lrie prolession-of that belief; if his belief, perhaps there is no wonder you should be disgusted at that of w hi c h yo u have employed the whole column-of a newspaper in evine ire; your inability to disprove -the truth, an d i n d ee d i n . noconsciondly demonstrating its strength. If his pro fession,Zl -have shown that nothine is more natural, that he was abieintely called upon to make it, that he veduld Imre-shirked the question if he -had not done so. But if this mere profession of his belief with the Church of 'Elsa:land, . that those peculiar doctrines are blasphe mous -fables and dangerous deceits is an assu niption of infallibility, your whole - letter is open to the- idle and -ehildish charge. for in it you profess your belief in certaindistinctive doctrines, and condemn, as error and -heresy; the belief of others. And do I bring any accusa tion agaitste se ou for this ? Surely not ; such is your-be lief, arid you are justified in professing it as you maintain its truth ; but, Sir, you havedeae more ; you have pre sumed to dive into motives.; e you have uncovered' the heart; you have traduced Dr. lv.i.`Neile in his oharacter. as -a :reanof truth and sincerityl you have dared to denounce him as the utterer of that which he knows to he false, and -as the- taker of an oath against:-conviction. Who, then; I demand,-has snatched the attribute which belongs to,iii ainity alone ewho has assumed-infallibility; who has dis played intolerant and unprovoked presumption? He who ;ratienally and perspicuously stated the grounds of his op position to. tkspish endowments. to be his belief, and -his 'belief to be,-With the Church -of England, that the distinc stiveadoctrines-of Popery are "-fables and deceits," or he -who traduces motives which he cannot ascertain s and ques tions the sincerity of that -intention which is hid from Unimr.n eye ? You denounce Dr..lll'Neile as dealing dam nation round- the land, bemuse he professes his bdief to be that these -doctrines are "blasphemous fables and dan gerous deceits:" What then:? ;:Is he to heliellis faith be cause the world is full of Papists ; because Popes and priests, and fioaks innumerable,have professedtheir belief in these doctrines, is he to believe them also ? You, Sir, may:regulate your belief, notbythe light of truth, but by a consideration of the numbers-or the weight of the parties believing. :You, sir, may believe, with Bellannine, that vice: is Tirtuaandwirtue vice, if a certain man wills it, but we leave not yet arrived at such -a pitch of indifferency; we cannot yet .boast such a-perversity of judgment. But if, when Dr.--M`Neile calls these doctrines fables and de ceits, -he deals damnation round :the land, I would fain know what your church dispenses-when it prone:laces all impugners.of the -twelve inventions which the Council of Trent presumed- to add to the Catholic Faith occurred ? In this denunciation you conjoin ; you are compelled by the commands of your church to join ; and you, alas I be lieve that we Anglicans are heretics, and that for us, as such, there is no salvation.. Yethow shocked, howoffended is your charity, :who can denounce men to domnation, when doctrines only which you profess are by us declared blasphemous. 'We presume not to decide on the fate or condition sit Papists, -whilst we do, and, by God's grace, always will, denouncethe doctrines-of Popery ; but you and your church pour out your cienunciations on us, and consign us, ;by your standing decrees, to the stake and the faggot in this life,, and -to everlasting destruction in the next. When you lunwarily say that Dr. M'Neile utters a foul calumny by professitigbis belief that the adoration of the sacramental bread is idolatry, you mean, I presume, that it is a foul calumny to say that Rornanists do adore the sacramental bread. To prove which-, you assume that the bread is changed,, before .it is worshipped, into the body, blood, soul, and alivinity-ef Jesus Christ. When did a Romanist bungle through an argument without the help -of a sophism ?—hese is -as glaring an instance of "petitio principii" as ever Romanist casuistry could possibly evince : you assume; he whole question, and then boast as if you had proved it. Dr. ArNeile affirms that Papists worship a piece , of bread :,you deny this—for the bread, you say, is changed into the: body and soul of Christ : but this is questioned,—aad Dr..M'Neile.believes the bread -to be still bread, when it is worshipped; and, as heesel IS a creature, it must be idolatrous-to woesbee it. Believing so, then, how utters he .ca1.....y in affirming such to be his-belief? But yea astart•that, -even if the_svorshipper eu b .v : erni n : yed/ unnecessary el -sir-.. apsest ac: species t r foo n ofr ei supposing jxdieopaliantitnreynaed.: : :: e oe.. b x: re pon a iiroms d dhiie t t tp o ietdj b . e ebs C yt: fs h d r et i Ihsute4d Christe , thin, alone. Such Such a pretence is so flimsy and so -vain that it is almost justify -the worship of the bread, does it not also justify or condemned in the Word of God ? We are told by St, Austin of some " who said Christ was the sun, and there fore worshipped the sun,"—were they idolaters?- The apostate Israel had their golden calfand their Baal,—were they idolaters ? The heathens had their images of woad, their "stoche and stones,"—the Greeas and Romans their Jupiter and se on, were they idolaters ? Divines, sir, in your own church have been ashamed t.*) resortto so pitiful an evasion; and have declared that " if the doctrine of transubstantiation be not true, the idolatry of the heathens in worshipping some golden or silver statue, or any images of their gods; or the Laplanders worshipping a red cloth, or the Egyptians an animal, is more excusable than of ' Christians, who -worship a bit of bread." And then "if there be nothing but bread in the eucbarist they are all idolaters." You hint that if transubstantiation be false, Christ came on earth to speak riddles that would lead millions of his creatures astray. Sir, think you it is dealing faithfully with the merciful author and finisher of the faith—that when he has committed to the keeping of the church a doctrine so well understood, that for twelve centuries it was preserved in its original purity and inten tion—your church of Rome should impiously dip to cor rupt that doctrine, contrary to the Catholic Mith of all antiquity ; and then set up ignorance as an excuse for pre sumption ? Talk about riddles, and being led astray from the truth—Jesus, if I mistake not, once called himself a vine; another time bread : once he called his salvation water; another time to be born again. Was he under stood ? Did lie not speak metaphorically ? The Jews, indeed, understood him not ; nor did he undeceive them. Let them who have distorted his known meaning —who have corrupted the Catholic faith, which was open to the comprehension and knowledge of all—take heed lest they should arrive at this awful pitch of judicial blindness—l beg to commend you for your steady belief of Christ's promise that the gates of Bell shall never prevail against his church ; but if I concede your application of it to the visible church on earth, I must deny its application, as you would claim it, until you prove that the church of , Rome is th'e Catholic church. But now your charges I _grow in virulence, and in proportion increase in emptiness and absurdity. The Church of England is but of yester ' day, and her members are modern schisniatics ! The ' Church of England, on the contrary, history informs us, was founded seventeen centuries ago; and very probably by St. Paul himself. We are modern schism atics, and yet we arc dutiful children of this ancient and apostolical church; whilst you are separated from her. How one line wipes out all your charges ! bow the irre sistible force of truth bears down all four bold and high- =Wins falsehoods ; What becomes of the fables about ' ~,;~~~. the fratricide Somerset, the boy King Edward, the profli- 1 gate Elizabeth (who, by-the-way, although dignified by four graceless epithets, I am content should compare with the lady who preceded her on the throne), the sensual James, and the penal Laws ? Which latter are not enacted against religion, but against treason, not against men, be cause they maintain these " blasphemous fables and dangerous deceits," but because they call their queen the subject of an Italian monarch, and declare that as a here tic it is lawful to burn her. But who are the schismatics ? The English church from the second century was recog nised as a branch of the Catholic church ; how, then does she cease to be so ? Because she has cast off the yoke of Rome, which, in violation of the canons of the universal church, was in part imposed upon her. Because she has purged herself of those errors and corruptions which, though condemned by the whole Catholic Church for many centuries, had by degrees polluted and defaced her. Be cause, with reverential fear, she has endeavoured to re trace her wandering steps, and come as near as she pos sibly could to the Church of the Apostles and of the old Catholic bishops and fathers ? I pray you answer me this, and we may perhaps with more certainty arrive at your definition of schism and Catholicity. But who is the schismatic ? I, who still adhere to the old church which has existed in Englanll since the apostolic age, or you, who profess to adhere to bishops who, in violation of the de crees of the universal church, are ordained and appointed to places subject to other bishops ; and of another decree, which declares those to be heretics who, though they pre tend to profess a sound faith, make congregations contrary to our canonical bishops ? Who is the schismatic then ? I, who hold to this old Catholic Church of England and its canonical bishops, or you, who subject yourself to Romish usurpers and foreign intruders ? Your obedient servant, NIGEL. [A second letter from our correspondent will appear next week.] LATEST FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. UNITED STATES. ARRIVAL OF THE C.VAIBRIA. The Royal Mail Steam-ship Cambria, Captain Judkins, arrived here yesterday morning, from Boston and Halifax. She left the former port on the 2nd, and the latter on the 3rd instant, at night. She has made the passage from Halifax in less than ten days. She affords another instance of the extraordinary regularity in the arrival of these mag nificent steamers--having arrived by the very tide, which, it *as calculated, would bring her up. She was detained at Boston until the 2nd by a dense fog ; she has brought ninety passengers. As first in political importance we begin with the intel ligence from Mexico. The news from Vera Cruz is to the 15th instant, and announced the return of Paredes to Mexico, from his exile. He reached Vera Cruz on the 14th in the English mail steamer Teviot, under an assumed name, and left that port for Mexico just an hour before information was received of his being on his way to Vera Cruz. Much is said in the New York papers on this subject, but it amounts to nothing more than bluster against the English for aiding his escape, or conjecture as to his probable objects. Advices from California state that peace and quietness reigned through the land, and the prospects of the season were favorable. General Kearney was exercising supreme command, and Colonel Fremont, being under arrest, travelled a short distance in the general's rear. General Scott was at Puebla on the -7th August, and the army was to take up the line of march on the next day for the city of Mexico. General Pierce arrived at Puebla on the 6th, and lost not a single man on the march, not withstanding another severe battle with the guerillas. Major Games and Midshipman Rogers had escaped from Mexico, and had arrived safe at General Scott's head quarters, bringing intelligence that Santa Anna was marchinc , with fifteen thousand men to meet General Scott, whilst the latter has only about two-thirds that number. The train which left Vera Cruz on the 6th was attacked about twenty-four miles from Vera Cruz, and it was reported there that the Mexicans had destroyed a part of the national bridge, and erected defensive works. A decisive action was expected at this place. The yellow fever was spreading at Tampico, but at Vera Cruz it was on the decrease. Captain Ruff has given the guerillas at San Juan de Los Llanos, killing 43 and wounding 50. A telegraphic despatch from New Orleans gives the following :—" The Matanzoras Flag of the 18th, received at New Orleans, confirms our statement that General Taylor would not march on San Luis Potosi. Captain Taylor, with 27 Texan Rangers, in pursuit of guerillas be tween Cerralvo and Monterey, lost five men—three in fighting on the 6th. Canales was active and doing much harm to scouting parties and baggage trains. Colonel Hays was still in Texas. After having been scouting for the purpose of catching depredators, lie returned to San Antonio on the 24th of July. The Indians and Mexi cans are reported as doing our troops a good deal of harm in a small way." The Caledonia, which left this port on the 10th ult., arrived at Boston early on the morning of the 2nd inst. The French mail steam-ship Missouri reached New York rill Halifax, on the 21st ult., and sailed again for Havre on the 31st. _ _ The new ship Alamlouk, Captain Christianson, which left New York on the 9th ult., was totally lost on the 15th, together with forty-two lives. On that night she was lying to in a violent hurricane, under the main spencer and fore topmast stay sail. About ten minutes before twelve o'clock she was struck with a heavy squall, and careened so much that the cargo shifted, and she imme diately fell upon her beam ends, the weather rail on the quarter deck being within a few feet of the water. The main and wizen masts were immediately cut - away, and the ship righted, but the cargo burst open the hatches and floated about, creating much confusion, and increasing the impending danger. Within a very short time the vessel filled, and she became water-logged, the starboard rail be ing under water. In this condition the crew and passen gers remained until daylight on the next morning, the 16th, when the dreadful truth became apparent to them, that out of sixty-four souls only twenty-two remained alive, the others having been washed overboard. It ap pears that the steerage passengers occupied the house on deck, and were in bed at the time of the disaster. The heavy sea that struck the ship zwept this house overboard with all its inmates, and hence the great loss of that class , of passengers, only one out of the thirty-six having been saved. The cabin passengers werealso in bed at the time, ,and as the ship lay on her beam ends they were rescued .through one of the windows on the weather side. The captain, Christianson, was once washed overboard, but re covered himself in the rigging of the mainmast. The Warelouk was a splendid new vessel, was on her first voy aze, and was built at Perrine, Patterson and Stack's ship yard, in New York. She was 850 tons burthen, and owned brWarren Delano, jun., Esq. She lad .a full cargo of .flour, provisions, &c., which was worth about £50,000. The vessel and freight money were insured in Wall-street for about AZ5,000; about £1.1,500 at the Mutual Safety Mee., and the remainder is divided between the Atlantic and• Sun Offices, and Philadelphia agency. The ship had every convenience and improvement, and was as fine a ship as ever left the port. She cost from 860,000 to 8'70,000. The cargo was also partially insured in London. The steam ship Guadalquiver arrived at New York on the 2 1 .4hAt1t., and a fire broke out on board on the same day. Captain Hosken was immediately sent for, End a stream of water was poured on the fire for several hours, when it was at length extinguished. It was said that the vessel was wilfully set on fire. The passengers by the Guadalquivez had presented a very gratifying address to Captain' Kosher, expressive of their sense of his skilful management of the ship during a tempestuous voyage.. They bad subscribed a handsome sum for the pnrohase of a fitting testimonial, for presentation to the worthy cap tain. At Yucatan a plot, having for its object the slaughter of the inhabit-ants, was fortunately discovered, but not W.., a number of inhabitants had been massacred in several villages. All white and mulatto men, with the women and children, had been murdered at Tepick. Party difficulties had been set aside, and the Yucatanese were uniting to resist.the insurgents. From Canada we learn that the crops appeared very promising, but besiness was dull, and the emigrant fever was still raging to a melancholy extent, A letter, published in the New York Adrertiser, states that on the 26th alt., the advance Mexican guard inter cepted a private correspondence between Santa Anna and General Scott, in which the latter had written that he had commenced withdrawing his troops from Perote. This disclosure produced a general excitement among the Mexican people; and to calm the populace it became ne cessary for Santa Anna to make a public manifesto, de claring that his policy was only a ruse by which he hoped to surround General Scott. A letter in La Patria, dated at Tampico on the 9th, states that a person arrived there on the Bth, from the city of Mexico, who says that the preparations of General Scott do not indicate an advance on the Ist of August, as reported ' nor was it believed he .would advance with the force he had. The letter adds, that the news concerning the interception of Gen. Scott's correspondence is confirmed. The same letter likewise remarks that the vomito has appeared in its worst form among the Americans, and already great mortality pre vailed. At Texas, the prospect as regards cotton and sugar, was favourable to an abundant yield. The yellow fever was very fatal at New Orleans. On the 15th ult. twenty-one interments from this disease had taken place, and during forty-eight hours ending the same day, 27 deaths had taken place at the Charity Hospital. BREAD STUFFS.

Stewart, of New York, prepared for transmission by the steamer : At the date of my last respects to you per Hibernia, on the 14th inst., I stated that Liverpool buyers were participating ims the operations going forward to a very limited extent, notwith standing an easy freight market. For a few days subsequent ta the departure of that steamer, the market wore a quiet appear ance, as parties were reluctant to operate until the receipt of later advices from abroad. The telegraph accounts per Cambria. from Liverpool to 4th inst., were received late on WedutlaT night, 18th inst. advi sing of great stringency in the money mark it there, and a slight decline on the lower grades of our staple. The letter mail was not received 'until Friday, 20th inst., and the private advkes were considered more unfavourable, as no orders came out ; and an apprehension seemed to exist that the tightness would rather increase ; and, in fact, had commenced to assume a permanent appearance. The sales which have been effected since have been to the ex tent of 1,500 bales daily, and mainly to our home trade, and with a large and scattering ftock, and an absence of export de mand, the market has presented one uniform appearance of dullness and excessive indifference on the part of holders, ex cept where their orders or immediate ne cess iti es prompte d ;ales, which consequently were made at easier prices, to the extent of one quarter of a cent. The quiescent state of our market perhaps, not a matter for much surprise when the peculiar position of the English trade, and the sudden and severe pres sure on the money market, on the eve of an apparently bounti ful harvest, is considered. The new steamer Guadalquiver arrived on Sunday morning, with dates to 14th instant ; the letters received yesterday by her, as far as yet known, are con firmatory of the anticipation of parties here, and our market since has exhibited no change in tone. The accounts that now reach us respecting the appearance of the growing crops are conflicting. From a careful analysis of them, I am persuaded that it is in a very precarious condition,.and that its appearance now is decidedly adverse to a good yield. From some sections we hear that it promises well, white in others they have totally abandoned all hope of snaking even. half a crop. The plant generally looks well. It was pushed forward to an unhealthy degree by the rains in July, but it is large, long-jointed, and sappy ; the forms and squares are fall ingfrom the stalks, and it is not in a productive condition.. Thus far we have no positive evidence of the appearance of the caterpillar, or army worm (the noctua gusypii), whose ravages usually commence the latter part of this month, and continue through the early part of September, but we have undoubted intelligence of the presence of the bore or bollworm, a worm that perforates the boll,. destroying it entirely. These worms are now at work in the richest cotton lands, in South Alabama . in the Canebrake, on Red River, La, and on th e bottom lanais of South Mississippi, and have also appeared near . Colusabus a and Enfala, Georgia. Although not leaving such marks of devastation in the leaf less stalks and stripped branches as manifests the advent of thc, army-worm, this enemy does his work quite as effectually, anti frequently proves more disastrous. The one takes the cotton by a hold assault, the other adopts mining and other appliances_ of the siege. Such is the shortness of time now for the matu rity of the crop, that all the causes which favourably effect it must co-operate in an eminent degree in order to insure an, average yield. The early planting on light sandy soil this year looks better than that pl an t e d at the ordinary season, and ova such sufficient bolls have matured to enable planters to hasten: forward a few bales to port, for the credit they gain in the neighbourhood, of having made the first bale of the season_ In fact, the plant on rich soils, is full three weeks behind its appearance last season, and we are dependent on the late plant ing and undergrowth for the crop, as what is termed the top crop, does not Yield enough now for an ordinary picking force_ Freights continue dull. Exchange has been latterly in goad request, and there is a fair demand. The receipts of Flour are so light, that the market is rather firmer than it was previous to the Guadalquiver's arrival.
