A HIGHWAY TO THE SEA.

A special meeting of the members of the Produce Ex-
change has been held at New York. Governor Fairchild
was introduced by the President, and delivered a long ad-
dress upon the practicability of building the Fox River
and Wisconsin River Canal, which is intended to con'
nett the Mississippi with Lake Michigan, and thus male
a complete water way from the Mississippi to the Atlantic
seaboard. The canal would be one hundred and eighteen
miles long, and it is estimated would cost $5,000,000.
When the Governor had finished his address, the following
resolutions were read by the Secretary, and adopted •. Re-
solved, "That the subject of cheap transportation between
the grain producing and the grain consuming States be-
tween. the Mississippi valley and the Atlantic cities, is not
only of great and increasing interest to producers and con-
sumers, but is of vast commercial importance, presenting
the question continually to dealers whether our products
can or cannot be exported to other countries without
loss. Neither the agriculturist nor the buyer of his pro-
ducts can prosper unless cheaper facilities are offered for
carrying between the West and the East than have hitherto
been presented by lines of land transportation. The sub-
ject is one in which the whole public are interested, and
is national in its character and its results." Resolveo,
" That in the judgment of this association a water com-
munication between the Mississippi and Lake Michigan,
capable of floating freighted steamboats at the lowest
stage of water, is a great public necessity, which will 138
cheaply relieved by an expenditure of five or six millions
of dollars." Resolved, "That this association earnestly'
recommend this subject to the consideration of Congress
and the national government, and that a copy of thee°
resolutions be sent to the Senators from this State an
d
to the Representatives from this city and Brooklyn.

Join BRIGHT—The long-continued illness of this
distinguished English Liberal statesman causes serious
anxiety as to his restoration to health. His successor in
the English Cabinet has already been indicated in the
public journals, and Mr. Bright is kept in profound
seclusion. Recent reports by mail bring the intelligence
that Mr. Bright has sunk into a hopeless condition from
softening of the brain. The contrast between the vigorous
popular orator and reformer of ten years ago, and the
helpless invalid of to-day, shews how thin are the parti-
tions between powerful intellect and imbecility, when the
man is overworked or the brain is overtasked.—Phguae

EcoNorams,—Secretary Boutwell's monthly state:
ment somewhat exceeds anticipations. The reduction 0'
the national debt during May amounted to $14,301,962-7
an excess of nearly three millions over the reduction
effected in the previous month. The gold in the Treasnr9
has fallen off, being now, in round figures, a hundred 0,111;
six millions, against one hundred and fifteen millions
month ago. The•currency reserve is upward of fourteer;
millions. These recurring exhibits of the working
Mr. Boutwell's policy should operate as standing et
dence of the enormous excess of revenue over expend"
ture and the large amount which is available for the re-
duction of taxes. In tne fifteen months' Administration
of President Grant, the expenditures of the Govermnellt
have been economised and the collections of the revenue
enhanced to the aggregate saving of $117,900,000, the
best proof of which is that this sum is now held in tiL
