COMMUNICATION WITH AMERICA ar STEAM

Saturday a highly respectable Meeting of Noblemen
and Gentlemen took place at the City of London
Tavern, for the purpose of establishing a communica-
tion between America and Ireland by Steam.—Lord
CA REEKY in the Chair. _ _

The Right Honourable MAURICE FITZGERALD rose
to state the object of the Meeting.—The communica-
tion between the United Kingdom and America had
hitherto been carried on by means of sailing vessels.
The superior certainty and rapidity of the communica-
tion by steam between Britain and Ireland had sug-
gested a plan for materially facilitating the commune-
, ticin from Britain and Europe generally to British Ame-
rica, the United States, Mexico, and the West Indies.
It 'therefore appeared advisable to establish a line of
packets to sail weekly from the harbour of Valentia, in
the south west extremity of Ireland, to the City of New
York. The communication from New York to the
other parts of the United States was known to be direct
and rapid ; and the direct line of navigation from New
Yor k to Ireland passed so near Halifax and Newfound-
land, that if found desirable, no difficulty would arise in
communicating with these parts of British America.
The Right Honourable Gentleman then proposed the
establishment of a Committee to enquire into the ex-
pediency- of adopting the above plan to facilitate the
intercourse between the countries.
There was a good deal of conversation on the sub-
ject, in which Mr. Nimms, the civil engineer; Sir
William Adams, Christopher Hutchinson, Esq. and
other Gentlemen joined. It appeared, from their state-
ments, that Valencia is the nearest point of Europe to
the American Continent, that it is perfectly safe, is
capable of receiving large vessels, and has two entrances
in different directions, so that vessels may enter and de-
part in all winds. It also appeared that besides other
great advantages, no delay could arise in the sailing of
a packet in any wind, and it was known that by far the
greater part of the delay and danger from Falmouth
or Liverpool occurs within the Channel or the Bay of
Biscay, which by this mode was avoided. The motion
• was ultimately agreed to, and the Meeting separated.

FRAUD ON MR. ROTHSCHlLD.—lntelligence has been
received from the French capital, respecting the fraud
practised upon Mr. Rornscumn by Mr.Doloret. The
bills have been regularly accepted, but it is presumed
nut discounted, as no account had been received of such
a circumstance at Baron Roviscsiti.n's, in Paris, up to
Thursday evening. Mr. Doloret, or some person for
him, had applied fur cash for the bills at three days'
sight, which had been prudently refused, on account of
the party being a. stranger, unless the indorsement of a
respectable banker could be obtained; this was promised,
but the party did not return, and the telegraphic dis-
patch would of course prevent that bill being cashed.
The French Police has taken up the matter, and issued
public notice, to caution persons agniist takini the
Incepted bills.

DUMFRIES, JUNE cc.
Yesterday, the Drill Ground became a great object of attraction.
Two Races were appointed to be run—the one for a Plate of U
guineas value, and the other for a Sweepstakes of equal amount.
AU the horses were the property of Yeomen, and of the six that
started for the Plate, the whole were rode by members of the Corps.
Hundreds of our townsmen crowded to the spot, and the genera(
opinion was that equal sport had rarely been exhibited on Tlnwakl
Downs. There were thtee beats for both races, and the last, which
gave rise to great cheering, was only wan by about half a length.
The weather was beautiful, without being over Warm; and our
townsmen, who gained both health and amusement, bad no occa-
sion to regret their forenoon trip to the Itotchill Park. 'Do fol-
lowing is a technical account of the Race :
Yeomanry Plate of 25p. for horses belonging to members of the
Corps, carrying 13st. Heats. Twice round and a distance.

BOXERS.

Moss, the tinman, was backed un Saturday for 100 sovereigns,
to fight Arnold, the Wiltshire man, who fancied Tum Cannon
until the defeat of Josh. The tinman is a known good bred one,
and fame states Arnold to be out and out. •
Barney Aaron has challenged Arthur Mathewson for 2001. at any
time he thinks proper, but the fight must be on a stage. Arthur
has accepted the challenge, on condition of fighting on the tint to
which the Jew has replied, that if Arthur wished he might have
the stage covered with turf. No doubt a match will be made be-
tween them. Dick Curtis has challenged Barney Aaron; and Hud-
son, the John Bull fighter, wishes to fight TonyCannou again, for
100/. or 2001.

CORN-EXCHANGE. MARK-LANE, JUNE 211.
There were moderate supplies of Wheat and Barley last week,
but of Beans and Oats the quantities were good. This morning
the fresh supplies consist of fair quantities of Wheat and Beans,
from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, and a few more vessels with Oats
from the North. The samples of Wheat at market are mostly of
damp quality, and of such scarcely any sales can be effected, al-
though they are offered on lower terms ; but prime dry parcels
rather exceed the currency of this day se'rtnight. Barley, being
scarce, may be quoted Is. per qr. higher, as also may Boiling Peas.
Grey Peas are without akeration. There was a brisk trade for
Oats on Friday last, and the prices then rather looked upwards ;
but the quantities haring materially increased since then, the trade
has therefore become more slack, and last Monday's prices remain
unaltered. The Flour trade continues very dull, except for such
as is fresh made.
