J. 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 !" HOGG'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 Toles?" " Noa." said the bumpkin, " our hogs are all white or black I doan't think there is a red one among 'em." the Canal Wharf at Nottingham, which they have obtained, and over which the Midland Company have power to run their Trains, on payment of Toll. The concessions and powers thus secured, are of the utmost importance and advantage to the Company. The most Conve nient Stations and ample accommodation for Passengers and Merchandize will be provided, both at Nottingham and Amber Gate, and the saving in the outlay of capital, as well as time and t* 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 tained 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 of Nottingham, which could not otherwise have been secured, except at an enormous sacrifice of money. The prosperity and almost vitality of the Line were most severely attacked during the last Session of Parliament, by the Great Northern and Eastern Oonnties Companies. The former projected a Line from Gosberton on the Boston loop, to Hougham Mill, North of Granthiun ; and the latter projected a line from Spalding to Newark, each of which were parallel to the Eastern portion of your Lite, 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 Beqton, 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 teen 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 time more 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 conclusivdthat in the opinion of those powerful• Companies, the district -is important and capa ble of developing, a large Traffic, and by the success attending the exertions of your Directors no part-of that district has been infringed upon—all that the Legislatute granted has been pre served intact. In thus defeating aggression your Directors have not refused friendly alliances when they would ctuduce 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 Wisbeach and Spalding Line, at the latter place, they have adopted your site, and an agreement has be en en t ere d into for the construction of such Station at the joint expense of the two Companies, and the alliance has further been strength ened by-arranging for an interchange of traffic, and running of Trains, between Grantham and Spalding, and Spalding and Wisbet.:t, the terms and details of which are to be settled by arbitration. This agreement Till promote alike the facility and convenience of the public, and the interests of the Company, and may ultimately lead to a-more intimate union, and 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 Aet, 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 increased to the full number of sixteen ; seven of whom are tote recommended by the Committees of Shareholders. And for the election, of three' of that number, a Special , G-eneral Meeting will be necessary, which is fixed for Tuesday; the 21st of - September next.

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. The whole of the Land for this Contract is now obtained, and the Contractor is at work on every part. More than five miles of the Contract length is fenced in, and the remainder of the fencing will be shortly completed. About 200,000 cubic yards have been got out of the excava tions and put into 'the embankments, whibh completes more than one-third of the Earthwork. Nine bridges are built with the exception •oply of the para pets, and nearly all the necessary culverts are put in. In the Gonerby Hill Tunnel 420 yards of the heading are driven ; the side lengths of four shafts, and one shaft-length, making forty yards of the Tunnel, is bricked, and the remain ing portion is proceeding rapidly. Two miles of the Line are formed ready to receive the Ballast and permanent way and about 500 yards of, single Line are laid down. _ A great quantity cf Ballast is also providedor the ground. A considerable quantity of permanent materials have been delivered. _ There are now employed upon the works, _729 men and 109 horses. I have great pleasure in stating that the works now done by the Contractor are executed in a Food substantial and work manlike manner, and I am well satisfied with the exertion used by the Contractor in pushing on the works. The whole of the Plans, Sections, and Drawings for Contracts Nos. 2 and 3 are ready.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, Stn,—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 denied. Your o - Jedient servant, September 11th, 1847. NIGEL. TO A WRITER IN THE MERCURY, SIGNING " A CATHOLIC." SlA,—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 what has been said, the novelty of which could have surprised or aroused you. You knew that what Dr. M'lsTeile has been called upon to reiterate is the profession of all good Church of England men, and is a standing record in the articles of their church. You knew the 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 dangerous deceits," that the Anglican Church cast them from her, and returned in penitence to her "first love." You knew that we must hold ourselves to be innovators instead of reformers, mutilators instead of pruners, unless we so believe, unless we are prepared so to denounce them ; what then. I would fain ask, has brought you forth to open anew, through the columns of a newspaper, 1 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 purpose which would have been content to have cast away all those arts by which you attempt to vilify and slander WI 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 vapouring without argument, and all its assertions without proof, all its empty sound without the solidity that truth imparts, and all its pompous asseve ration written orgy to catch the ear, all the inference which enmity .alone could draw, and the blind charges which a manly mind 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. M`Neile will be grateful, but while commending the tenderness of yew nature, permit me to advise you to reserve it till he shall need it, and you be more fit to evince it ; for, believe me, mistaken pity, whilst it leaves 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 your amiability to outstep your judgment, and what is still more beautiful, to stifle your enmity 'itself. But you have read Dr. M'Neile's 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 silly 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 to the Maynooth endowments, he does so by declaring that he believes with the Church of England, that many doctrines taught at that institution are bias phemousables, and dangerous deceits ;" can anything be more reasonable, anything more natural, anything more inevitable? You know that Dr. M'Neile believed this, what then elicited your disgust, his belief of it, or his profession of that belief; if his belief, perhaps there is no wonder you should be disgusted at that of which you have employed the whole column of a newspaper in evinc ing your inability to disprove the truth, and indeed in unconsciously demonstrating its strength. If his pro fession, 1 have shown that nothing is more natural, that he was absolutely called upon to make it, that he would have shirked the question if he had not done so. But if this mere profession of his belief with the Church of England, that those peculiar doctrines are blasphe mous fables and dangerous deceits is an assumption of infallibility, your whole letter is open to the idle and childish charge, for in it you profess your belief in certain distinctive doctrines, and condemn, as error and heresy, the belief of others. And do I bring any accusa tion against you for this ? Surely not ; such is your be lief, and you are justified in professing it as you maintain its truth ; but, Sir, you have done more ; you have pre sumed to dive into motives ; you have uncovered the heart; you have traduced Dr. Wisleile in his character as a man of truth and sincerity ; you have dared to denounce him as the utterer of that which he knows to be false, and as the taker of an oath against conviction. Who, then, I demand, bias snatched the attribute which belongs to di vinity alone ; who has assumed infallibility; who has dis played intolerant and unprovoked presumption ? He who rationally and perspicuously stated the grounds of his op position to Popish endowments to be his belief, and his belief to be, with the Church of England, that the distinc tive doctrines of Popery are " fables and deceits," or he who traduces motives which he cannot ascertain, and ques tions the sincerity of that intention which is hid from human eye ? You denounce Dr. Wi•leile as dealing dam nation round the land, because he professes his belief to be that these doctrines are " blasphemous fables and dan gerous deceits." What then ? is he to belie his faith be cause the world is full of Papists ; because Popes and priests, and flocks innumerable, have professed their belief in these doctrines, is he to believe them also? You, Sir, may regulate your belief, not by the light of truth, but by a consideration of the numbers or the weight of the parties believing. You, Sir, may believe, with Bellarmine, that vice is virtue and virtue vice, if a certain man wills it, but we have 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 pronounces 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 ! 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 of Papists, whilst we do, and, by God's grace, always will, denounce the doctrines of Popery ; but you and your church pour out your denunciations 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 unwarily say that Dr. M'Neile utters a foul calumny by professing his belief that the adoration of the sacramental bread is idolatry, you mean, I presume, that it is a foul calumny to say that Romanists 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 divinity of Jesus Christ. When did a Romanist bungle through an argument without the help of a sophism ?—here is as glaring an instance of "petitio prineipii" as ever Romanist casuistry could possibly evince : you assume the whole question, and then boast as if you had proved it. Dr. M'Neile 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,—and Dr. M'Neile believes the bread -to be still bread, when it is worshipped ; and as bread is a creature, it must be idolatrous to worship it. Believing so, then, how utters he calumny in affirming such to be his belief ? But you assert that, even if the worshipper be mistaken in supposing the bread to be Christ, he is not an idolater, for he intends to worship Jesus Christ alone. Such a pretence is so flimsy and so vain that it is almost unnecessary to explain and explode it. If the mistake justify the worship of the bread, does it not also justify every species of idolatry ever committed by deluded man, or condemned in the Word o f G o d ? W e 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 calf and their Baal,—were they idolaters ? The heathens had their images of wood, ' their "stocks and stones,"—the Greens and Romans their Jupiter and so on, were they idolaters ? Divines, sir, in your own church have been ashamed to resort to 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 eucharist 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 dare to cor rupt that doctrine, contrary to the Catholic faith 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 he 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 Hell 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 the Catholic church. But now your charges grow in virulence, and in proportion increase in emptiness and absurdity. The Church of England is but of yester day, and her members arc modern schismatics ! The Church of England, on the contrary, history informs us, was founded seventeen centuries ago; and very probably by St. Paul himself. We arc modern schism atics, and yet we are dutiful children of this ancient and apostolic a l church; whilst you are separated from her. ' How one line wipes out all your charges ! how the irre sistible force of truth hears down all tour bold and high. sounding falsehoo4s What becomes of the fables about the fratricide Somerset, the boy King Edward, the profli 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 dedare 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 England 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 ? 1, who hold to this old Catholic Church of England and its canonical bishops, or you, who subject yourself to Rornish usurpers and foreign intruders ? Your obedient servant, _ _ NIGEL. [A second letter from our correspondent will appear next week.] LA7T FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. UNITED STATES. ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA. 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 was 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 iastant, 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 marching 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 Matamoros 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 Gth. 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, he 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 12th ult., arrived at Boston early on the morning of the 2nd inst. The French mail steam-ship Missouri reached New York via" Halifax, on the 21st ult., and sailed again for Havre on the 31st. The new ship Mamlouk, 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 mizen masts were immediately cut away, and the ship righted, but the cargo burst open the batches 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 IGth, 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 swept 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 were also 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 Mamlouk was a splendid hew vessel, was on her first voy age, and was built at Perrine, Patterson and Stack's ship yard, in New York. She was 850 tons burthen, and owned by Warren Delano, jun., Esq. She had a full cargo of flour, provisions, &c., which was worth about 8'50,000. The vessel and freight money were insured in Wall-street for about 855,000 ; about 811,500 at the Mutual Safety Office, 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 8'60,000 to 870,000. The cargo was also partially insured in London. The steam ship Guadalquiver arrived at New York on the 29th ult., 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 Guadalquiver had presented a very gratifying address to Captain Mosher, expressive of their sense of his skilful management of the ship during a tempestuous voyage. They had subscribed a handsome sum for the purchase of a fitting testimonial, for presentation to the worthy cap tain. At Yucatan a plot, having for its object the slaughter of the inhabitants, was fortunately discovered, but not before 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 business was dull, and the emigrant fever was still raging to a melancholy extent, A letter, published in the New York Advertiser, states that on the 26th ult., 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 in the operations going forward to a very limited extent, notwith standing an easy freight market. For a few days subsequent to 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 Wednesday night, 18th inst. advisingof great stringency in the money market 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 advt.:es were considered more unfavourable, as no orders came out; and an apKehension 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 frock, 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 necessities prompted sales, which consequently were made at easier prices, to the extent of one quarter of a cent. The quiescent state of our market is, 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, while in others they have totally abandoned all hope of making 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 ing from 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 the bottom lands of South Mississippi, and have also appeared near Columbus, and linfala, Georgia. Although not leaving such marks of devastation in the leaf less stalks and stripped branches as manifests the advent of the army-worm, this enemy does his work quite as effectually, and frequently proves more disastrous. The one takes the cotton by a bold 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 planted at the ordinary season, and on 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- mg 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 good 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. Genesee is held at 5.75 dols. to 5:81 doh. ; and Ohio, Michigan. and Oswego at 5.62.} dolt. to 5.75 dols. There is but little doing in Southern. It is held at 6 dols. to 6.50 dols. Sales of flat yellow Corn are made at 75 to 76 cents, and mixed at 73 to 74 cents. NEW YORK, AUG. 31,1847. Liverpool Classification.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 30.—The news by the steamer Gua dalquiver has unsettled the market for bread-stuffs, and caused a decline in prices. Not much done in flour. Holders of Howard-street brands were contending for 55,62, but towards the middle of the day sales of about 400 barrels new brands were made at 55,50, more than which cannot now be obtained. This is a decline of 121 to 181 cents per barrel since Saturday. City millers are holding at 55,75 ; no sales. Nothing done in corn Meal. There have been transactions in wheat at a decline of sto 7 cents per bushel since Saturday. Several par cels, amounting in all to about 8,000 bushels of prime rods have been taken at 105 to 108 cents. Some small choice lots brought a few cents more. We note a sale of 2,000 bushels at 110 cents. There was also a sale of 2,000 bushels red at 106 cents. Sales of white wheat at 114 to 118 cents. Family flour, white, is worth 125 to 130 cents.

PHILADELPHIA, AUGUST 30.—Since our last report was written, we have received ten days later advices from Europe, noticing a further decline in breadstuffs. This news has added to the preceding dullness in our market, and the transactions have been to a very limited extent. The flour market is at a stand. Holders generally ask former rates, and are rather more anxious to realize, but no sales have been reported. In rye flour no sales have transpired. Corn meal.—A few hundred brls. Pennsyl vania were sold at £3, In per bbl., which is a slight de cline. Grain-500 bushels prime new Southern red wheat sold from store at 43'1.25. ROVES' ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE HOLY LAND.—This exhibition, which we noticed in terms of approbation last week, increases in attraction, and is meeting with great patronage. The skill and ingenuity of the artists, as dis played in these beautiful animated representations, have nightly drawn forth the unqualified approbation of numer ous and respectable companies. The exhibition certainly is of the most interesting, harmless, and exciting charac ter, and deserves to be liberally patronized by the public. THE WELLINGTON SURTOUT.—If the name of Wel lington has been celebrated heretofore, it is now likely to become more so, from the fact of it being applied to a new registered overcoat, invented by Mr. James Fon Ore, of 6, Conduit-street, and 11, Poultry, which has.been ex tensively patronized by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, and many other members of the royal family and nobility, as well as by the iron duke himself, whose name it bears. It is also coming into gene ral use among the officers of the Guards, and the gentry in general. To our sporting readers at the present time it is especially to be recommended, from its repellant as well as dust-defying qualities. It is cut without seams on the shoulders, and fits equally well as an overcoat or frock, and is made of an elastic cloth. Although impervious to wet it is perfectly porous to perspiration, and, altogether, Ala got up in a style quite worthy the name it bears, and we fully expect to see it become general amongst the sports me, o f England, and more especially among those whose pursuits lead them to brave all weathers. Being kept in all colours, and made up at a very moderate figure, it is calculated to please all classes. We ought to mention. that it is made of a peculiar cloth, manufactured expressly. for Mr. Fougere in the West of Eneland.—From a cor _ respondent of the Albion. Mr. Mactaggart, of Bold_ ,treet, and Mr. Blackburne, of Castle-street, advertlie tl excellent coat in our paper of to-day.
